Message From Le Colonial Restaurant

Experience the Exotic Bar food at Le Colonial.

  • Check out our menu
  • Perfect for special events
  • What are people saying?

The atmosphere at Le Colonial evokes the tropical elegance of Vietnam (a French colony at the time) in the 1920s. From the patchwork tile floors to the graceful palm trees and rattan and shuttered windows, Le Colonial feels as if it was transported here from 75 years ago and 10,000 miles away. In addition to the intimate main dining area, Le Colonial has an outdoor veranda offering sanctuary from the bustle of the city, plus the increasingly rare opportunity to enjoy an after dinner cigar. The upstairs bar and lounge provides a relaxed salon ambiance with its faded oriental rugs, decorative bamboo birdcages, low wood tables and comfortable couches. The lounge is appropriate for tea, cocktails, appetizers or casual dining. The Vietnamese cuisine served at Le Colonial draws on traditional recipes blended with the bounty of fresh meat, fish, and produce the Bay Area has to offer.

Expert Reviews of Le Colonial Restaurant

Citysearch | The California-style Vietnamese cuisine and opulent French-Colonial setting make this a popular downtown destination.

An immense dining room with natural wood paneling and slow ceiling fans evokes 1920s French-Colonial Vietnam. The large menu is an imaginative mix of traditional Vietnamese flavors and Western ingredients....
